Know the cells of the central and peripheral nervous system and the parts of the neuron (be able to recognize the parts on a diagram of a neuron) (fig, 2. 3 parts of a neuron) Three types of neurons that relay information between cns and pns: sensory neuron( afferent): a neuron that detects changes in the external or internal environment and sends information about these changes to the central nervous system.
